Jig Man

First thing I would do is jack up a wheel and give it a spin. If it spins freely and quietly move to the other one. If both are quite I would not worry. If there is any noise either replace the bearings or hire someone to do it. You can find videos on how to do it. If you have to replace then do both sides with bearings and races.

I have 1000s, 2000s, and 2500s. They all have their place.

I was given a Curado DC for my birthday. I haven’t used it much but so far I like it. I think I will buy another one.

Well I am having thoughts as to how I can make something similar if they are worth the time and effort.

They look interesting. Have any of you guys tried them out yet?

There is a bass boat forum that had some E7s a few days ago.

I’ve put in but never removed. May I ask you why you want it out?

The mother board should be in the head.

Numbers...Shakey and Ned Size...1/2 oz jig with salt craw trailer and spinner bait

They are whacking them on Table Rock with water in the 50s.

Warm water maybe.

X2. I use my 843s every trip and 844 occasionally.

I have never had a rod that would do a good job on a 1/2 oz jig and not be too stiff for crank baits. If I were in your situation I would buy the rod to match what I would be doing most and get by with the other application. However, someone may be familiar with a rod that I don’t know of which will do both jobs. Good luck. I hope you find it.

Thanks for the responses. I did find and a Chevy and bought it.

Spinner bait, buzz bait, worms and Ned.

You might be seeing calcium deposits. Try some hydrochloric acid (toilet bowl cleaner will work) in a small area and see if it helps. Around here we get lots of it. I use it on my boat and motor regularly to keep it off.

The only place that I know is the Bass Pro catalog outlet. Rods are sketchy since a lot of them have had the tips broken off. But several area small shops buy and resell referb reels. I talked to a guy in there with an arm load of reels. He said he had bought and resold over 400 through his shop in a neighboring town.

I make my own so I carry a bunch. They are great for vertical jigging as well as making long casts to surfacing fish.

You really need to do some research and get some hands on. The bigger the screen the easier they are on you. A gps opens a whole new world so research that also. The flea market here has good deal when guys are trading up.

I have mine loose in plastic boxes. Most of mine are homemade so there is no bag. I tried keeping Zman stuff in bags but it stuck together and got flat.

If you use smalljaws method you couldn’t possibly loose your blade.

Ford is wanting $19000 boot plus I really am a General Motors kind of guy.

It’s not that I don’t have a good truck to pull with, it’s just that I want something smaller.

Look up smalljaws video on hoe to lock a spinnerbait blade. It is awesome and you won’t ever lose a blade again.

My issue is all of the Chevy and GMC dealers are only stocking the 3.23 and ordering one like I usually do doesn’t seem to be an option right now. The engine doesn’t concern me it’s the axle.
